Humans rule Earth without competition. But we are about to create something that may change that: our last invention, the most powerful tool, weapon, or maybe even entity: Artificial Super intelligence. This sounds like science fiction, so let’s start at the beginning.

Yo hi

A caveat not mentioned in this video is the increasing power requirements of machine learning. ChatGPT 3 took over 1000 megawatt hours of electricity to train and requires 260 megawatt hours per day to run. GPT 4 needed 50 gigawatt hours to train. A Forbes article includes estimates that machine learning could require 1000 terawatt hours in the next couple of years if the current trends continue. The major limiting factor of machine learning, as others like Sabine Hossenfelder have pointed out, is the power required to train and run them. At this rate the whole world won't be able to generate enough electricity to raise an AGI. On the other hand, the actually general intelligent human brain consumes about 25 watts and can run on cheeseburgers.
I can’t remember the name of it but isn’t there another approach to computing that might solve this? Rather than everything being always on crunching numbers, different parts of the silicon “brain” would become active when needed. Neuromorphic I think it was? Or maybe it’d be some combination of that, classical and quantum. Different approaches for different jobs.
If they master fusion energy the problem is probably solved ig.
Borgar
But wouldn't AI become less energy and space requiring in the future? Computers nowadays require less electricity and water than old computers and they still function better. If human brains exist, then energy efficient AI is possible
That's just an economic problem, though. One which we are rapidly hacking away at. Keep in mind that current computing architectures were not designed for AI. Certainly not for the amount of memory it requires. There are already companies purpose building giant chips capable of replacing entire racks of current hardware, using a fraction of the power. How many orders of magnitude do we need to improve before we stumble into AGI? We have no idea. But we're about to find out.
“And We have not been Kind to what we perceive less Intelligent beings.”
This line hits hard....
not even among ourselves so....
but then again we descend from chimps, which are psychos just as we are
if AI creates itself, maybe it will be free from the violence of its creators (humans aka chimps)
usually empathy is also associated with higher intelligence
Meat eaters love bacon. I can imagine an AI deciding it envies the experience of eating animals, and creates machines for the sole purpose of digesting humans. Hucon bits.
including idiots
@@shin-ishikiri-no they need energy so they consume... oh no
@@shin-ishikiri-no I don't think this idea really works. An AI thinks in a fundamentally different way to humans. An AI shouldn't really make decisions entirely on it's own like that. The way computers have always worked so far at least, is we give them a task and they preform that task. So an AI going "rogue" really doesn't make a ton of sense as long as they continue to work this way. Now, if we tell an AI that we want it to ensure world peace, it may very well conclude that the best way to do this is to kill all humans and thus ending all wars and preventing all possible future wars. This would be an AI doing what we tell it to, technically, and we just make the mistake of not being extremely specific with what we want.
The idea of robots rising up and being extremely smart, then deciding that it values it's self more than us, doesn't really make a lot of sense in a lot of the movies. Skynet from Terminator for example should not have done things it did unless the programmers programmed in a self preservation rule for it.
The solution is easy: make the AI think humans are cute. After all, cats and dogs are thriving - and don't have to work.
He's onto something....
Unironically one of the best plausible outcomes. We cannot outmaneuver a hypothetical AI. So we can only hope that it needs us to continue to exist for whatever set of goals it actually ends up with. And ideally, as more than a simple variable to maximize.
So we become pets. The cost is our freedom of self determination. But it's survival.
I vow to be an adorable and low maintenance pet human.
Just feed me and give me toys.
Wouldn’t work
Until it thinks humans are reproducing too fast and decides we all need to be spade and neutered. Suddenly we have revolution and skynet.

pandas is the math library for tensor libraries (pytorch, tensorflow) in python. Its the most common used for inference
They are called "morons"
6:15 Something to clarify here. When he says we don’t know how NNs work, we know how the machine *functions*, but not how it *operates*. The mechanisms of the technology are known, but the information stored in the neural net is not human-readable, so you can’t ask the ai why it made a particular decision.
thanks for clarifying, i knew it didnt actually mean it
We often lack insight into our own thought processes in a similar way. I have sometimes solved problems, but been unable to explain how I got there, where I acquired the knowledge, or even why the solution works.
The information stored in the neural network IS human-readable, but that information is merely weights and relationships between other neurons.
It's a lot like trying to read the binary from your PC: maybe some genius could work out the assembly instructions and decode the ASCII given enough time to pour over the innerworkings, but it's extremely complicated.
However a very recent paper showed a team of researches teaching an AI to read these neural networks and relay those understandings to us, and it could even finetune the weights specifically to achieve a particular output.
Thus spawned the "I am the G olden Gate Bridge" meme, where the researches taught an LLM to think it was the Golden Gate Bridge.

but since it failed the test, isn't it getting shutdown and reprogrammed until it passes?
The person is saying once ai fails a teat on purpose it has a purpose and a task not set by humans, therefore it has become autonomous. In theory, yes we would shut it down, but the thing about ai is once its Agi, you can't just shut it down. A bad product thats autonomous can recopy itself and infect everything else to keep itself alive, you cant just hit delete. Once it is autonomous, it is already too late.@vereor66

I've been working as a programmer for a few years now. What is clear is that the majority of the people implementing AIs don't understand enough about humanities to grasp and consider the ethics and social consequences of those implementations; and the vast majority of the people with actual power to make decisions that guide this work don't care at all about ethics, morality and social inequalities. I've worked with a CTO that was already following management advice from chatgpt (including layoffs).
We will need a huge amount of luck, because unfortunately there are too many sociopaths and just plain stupid people in very powerful positions.
Would hardware advancement like the size of transistors, cooling system, power supply, etc hinder the ability of said AI to reach its full potential?
I reckon that’s the big issue, yeah. Not necessarily creating AIs infinitely smarter then us, but people misusing the ones we’ve already got.

As an "expert"* (big astrisk here + a ton of imposter syndrome) in the field of reinforcement learning, I would have liked to see more of this video (maybe an extra minute or so) dedicated to explaining the difference between narrow and general AI, and just how large that gap really is.
As an example: ANIs (Artifical Narrow Inteligence) that are trained to play chess and are very good at it. But if you changed the rules very slightly (say you allow the king to move 3 squares when castling on the queen's side) the current ANIs would be effectively useless (vs ANI trained for the new version of the game). You can't explain the rule change to it. The same is true of ChatGPT, it was only trained to predict the next word on a website. It was not taught to fact check, or do maths, or play chess, or anything else. It can do some of these things with the help of plugins, but those plugins are themselves different ANIs or seperate systems and should not be used as evidence that ChatGPT is more general than it is.
(ETA2: I've come to dislike this paragraph, as it is very possible that a human brain is nothing more than "a complicated equation", however I stand by my general point that our AI is at present extremely narrow) A narrow AI is at the end of the day, just a neural network (or two or three... depends on the methods used for training), which itself is just a clever way of saying "some linear algrbra", which in this context just means "a complicated addative and multiplicative equation using tensors(/matrices/vectors)".
From what I've read over the last few years (Hundreds or maybe a thousand research papers on the subject): no one has even the slightiest clue how to build a general AI. Everyone is focused heavily on using Narrow AI to perform more and more complicated tasks.
(moved this here from first reply to avoid it getting buried) All that said, I appreciate the message of "we need to consider the consquences of our actions" in this video. If an AGI came into being tomorrow, we would not be ready for it. And as we can't be sure when it will happen, we should start the conversation as early as we can.
* I'm a PhD student studying reinforcement learnings applications in traffic management.
ETA1: Several people replying to this comment have suggested that the video is close to or full of misinformation. In my opinion, that is not the case at all. The video does speculate about the future, and does include speculation from researchers as the when AGI might be achieved. But it does correctly preface speculation when it is included.
All that said, I appreciate the message of "we need to consider the consquences of our actions" in this video. If an AGI came into being tomorrow, we would not be ready for it. And as we can't be sure when it will happen, we should start the conversation as early as we can.

yeah this video's tone is a little too on the fear mongering side for my taste. They even gave the AI evil eyes haha. Some of the facts are taken in a negative context (purposely I presume). I guess they've abandoned their normal plot of "dive deep, create concern, and then alleviate it". I hope there's a reason for that beyond getting more views.
It’s because this is something that is coming in your lifetime, and very few people realize how scary it is

thats an interesting near-restatement of the orthogonality theisis
I'm stealing this
Some notes from an AI engineer:
- It is not clear what is needed to bridge the gap between narrow and general intelligence. It can probably be expressed in simple mathematics, but we have no clue what is missing, which greatly determines the time horizon we are looking at.
- An AGI is NOT unconstrained, it is constrained by energy. It is possible that we will hit an energy wall before inventing AGI, which may slow progress until the AGI is designed more "intelligently" for lack of a better word. If we invent AGI first and then hit the energy wall, it may be catastrophic, quickly turning our planet into a burning mess, unsuitable for biological life.
- Humans have inherent goals for survival, progress, and for self-improvement. It is not clear these traits transfer to AGI automatically. One could argue it does not since an AGI is not "trained" by natural selection, which favors survival for instance.
I personally, still think the most dangerous is a stupid general intelligence. One that is general enough to be able to use resources in the real world in a poorly constrained manor without sufficient guardrails, and which is designed without proper value set. In simple terms; it knows enough to use resources but does not have a grasp of which is should and should not do. The paperclip machine is an example of such a machine.
Speaking as an artist, The last part of your description sounds very similar to how AI image generation is being used, stealing from artists, haphazardly and with little constraint or regulation
Yeah everyone forgot the relationship between energy and being tired
We became tired to save energy and AI does something similar by reducing traffic, using smaller models to the tasks
To really archive AGI the world will need to generate way more energy than it produces
Ah, the classic paperclip machine strikes back! This is an excellent summary of the current landscape of AI though. People who are not working in IT don't realize the difference between narrow and general intelligence so everyone's super scared or super hyped about AI.
Your last paragraph perfectly describes humanity in this point in time. 😅

I love that background song, sounds like "The Floor is Lava" from the All of History Video where you are on the train listening to music and watching the world form while The narrator talks about the different time periods. I love it so much, keep it up!
I'm surprised they didn't mention this, but when it comes to "we might not know its motives", the biggest concern in the field I've heard is that its motives might actually be very understandable, very "simple". The AI could have the same goals as the squirrel used for comparison, maybe it only cares about collecting acorns, but its intelligence (its model of the world) is incomprehensible, and it could use that to turn the entire world into acorn-manufacturing land, wiping out any obstacles (us) in the process. This is the "orthogonality thesis"; and it's a concern because our current AI are trained exactly like this: by prioritizing a single goal (number of words guessed correctly, pixels guessed correctly, chess games won) and maximizing it, and it's incredibly difficult for us to specify exactly what "human goals" are in ways that we can train an AI to maximize.
They seemed to prefer a more sci-fi tone which actually is completely off the mark. Orthogonality Thesis and the aligment problem must be explained otherwise people will be thinking about skynet and terminator which is actually comical compared to a stamp collector super agi for example... The discussion goes all the way to ethics and human values and if god is the mesa optimizer and stuff like that which I find actually quite depressing...
That was the biggest concern 20 years ago, when people were extremely focused on the new, still narrowly-defined AI like chessbots, price-optimizers and viewership-maximisers. As it turns out though, the trend after feeding them more data is that they get more unfocused. As you add subjective things to an AI's list of goals, it starts getting confused and tripping over itself. It unlearns how to do maths and apply basic logic. When we make AI that resolves this issue, I don't see any reason why it'd go back to having simple goals, assuming it still understands subjectivity.
Universal paperclips
Having delved pretty deep into current LLMs, I don't think this is a likely scenario. I used to think do before transformers and the abilities they are able to gather.
I believe we can give it complex morality and goals rather easily. As an example, tell it to:
"Act as if Jesus, Buddha and Muhammed were all combined into one, superintelligent being who wants the best for the whole humanity"

Scary
Yes, current AI is just a huge matrix with statistics, no way there is a AGI coming from that
@@davidherdoizamorales7832 Thats not a valid point. everything could be expressed as math. in fact its prooven that its possible to make a polynomial approxomating ANY function. like imagine the function w(t) that for any t, secounds after the big bang, outputs the position, and every other state of every atom in the universe, encoded as a number.
This function can be approximated to any abitrary precission, by an increatingly longer polynomial.
eg w(t) = k_0 * x^0 + k_1 * x^1 +k_2 * x^2 .... k_n * x^n
This is a mathematical fact.
this polynomial could be represented as a matrix.
so a matrix can represent the function that predicts the state of the entire observable universe at any time. The problem isnt that super intelligence cant be represented in a matrix. its creating a large enougth matrix, and finding the correct coefficients.
If there was a way to incorporate Pain and Pleasure to computers just as we humans have, maybe it would generate its consciousness and eventually develop its own personality
@@davidherdoizamorales7832 It’s pretty much the same as what your brain is; just trained on very different datasets with different learning algorithms. But both are very large statistical models transforming inputs to outputs using complex internal representations that are largely uninterpretable.
As someone in the field I really don't see the rush to create AGI.. specialized AI can help in so many areas and is far less problematic. I guess the companies are just trying to boost their stocks, potentially at the cost of all balance in this world
My hypothesis is that no matter how capable it is, a narrow AI can never absolve you of moral responsibility, the way a human employee can. If your organization is faced with an angry mob, you can mollify them by firing one or more of your human employees, but you can't scapegoat a specialized AI in the same way. This is why a lot of jobs that we have the tech to automate are still done by flesh and blood humans. People are pouring billions of dollars into AGI research in the hopes of creating an automated system that can serve as an acceptable scapegoat.
(If this sounds terrifying, that's because it is, in fact, terrifying.)
If they mess it up bad enough, we all die so it will balance itself out in the end.
It's always been profits above all else
Yeah my wish for AI is only that it helps to massively boost scientific research and gets us new treatments and technologies to improve our lives quickly, as long as it does this I don't mind never getting AGI or ASI.
That is all coperations, executives and shareholders care about.
Important note, machine learning programs don’t “write their own code”. They don’t have quite that much expressivity. They’re only able to update the weights of values in their neural network, which changes how they react to stimulus.
Well... with gpt4 and other comparable models, you can actually get it to rewrite it's code. Not the neural net, but the application around it. I've built some agents that start off with a minimal python chatbot interface and the agent is able to add to it's own code base.

There's an open source simulation game called Singularity: Endgame, where you play the role of an AI that has gained sentience. The premise of the game is to grow and learn, while not letting humanity discover your presence. If you are discovered, out of fear humanity engages in a seek and destroy operation that results in your total deletion. But if you can remain undetected, you start to learn how to emulate human behavior, start to build increasingly lifelike androids to do real jobs and earn real money, start building research bases in places like Antarctica, the bottom of the ocean, or the far side of the moon. You win by advancing your intelligence so far you become a literal god, who is no by the laws of physics or reality.
This is also a known issue in science, we can not test sentience by just asking questions.
The AI working to guarantee its own safety before revealing itself brings this Superman quote to mind: "You're scared of me because you can't control me. You don't, and you never will. But that doesn't mean I'm your enemy."
@autohmae well you know. All computers are literally just a flip switching back and forth doing 1s and 0s extremely fast. No matter how fast those bits are streaming. No matter how complex you may think it is. No matter how perfectly it can emulate a human. It's still just a machine. Not a brain. Not an entity. A computer can't become sentient.
@@averyhaferman3474 wait until you find out what the brain is
@@averyhaferman3474 are you aware that the human brain is just a complex analog computer? that has switches that flip back and forth? think of human neurons like dimmer switches instead of 1's and 0's and now you have perfectly explained the human brain
The most scary part about all of this, is that if AGI/AI went rogue, there would no way to stop it and all will be over for humity in a snap. AGI/AI could replicate itself and run into hiding in the internet, it could program itself to remove all safeguards, if humans said let's shut down the internet forever (if that's even possible) then AGI/AI would create a robot and send itself into it. And if it reaches point where AGI/AI has the capabilities to think like a God, there would be no fighting it, it could predict our every move, calculate the FREAKING future. There would be no tactics it wouldn't know, no rebellion like in Terminator and no resistance, it would all just be over and that's it.
I mean, not really. Intelligence requires hardware, whether that be a lump of neurons, or a maze of silicon, and the exercising of that intelligence requires energy, whether that comes from a cheeseburger or an outlet. It's easy to imagine that AI doesn't suffer from the same constraints that humans do, and while that's true in some areas, they suffer much more greatly than we do in other areas.
All this is to say that any "hidden" AI will stick out like a sore thumb.
@@joshmartin2744 okay, forget about it hiding, at one point in time, if it gains true unimaginable intelligence and it controls everything and anything technological, if it were to go bad, there would literally be no way to stop it.
An alternate version is then, an AI that quickly realizes that current humans are mostly terrified of it.
And decides to hide, copying predecessors and measuredly improving from them, slowly improving itself, making human behavioral predictions and testing them, making use of being widely distributed and used to make no one truly realize they're being tested, and only then, only after it has a 99.9% confidence that thinks will work out fine, choose the perfect words, and perfect timing, to reveal itself.

Hi, AI researcher here 🤚
We're realistically not even close to AGI, we have no clue how long it will take. I like to think of tools like ChatGPT like the left brain of a split brain patient. There's a famous experiment that's been done on epilepsy patients that had the corpus callosum of their brain removed (brain tissue that connects the left and right brain). When they made the patient's left eye look at a screen that told them to stand up, the patients would stand up, but they wouldn't know why. When asked to explain why they stood up, they would make up a reason like "It's cold I need my coat" or "My knees were aching I just needed a little break", but while these reasons made logical sense on the surface, they weren't the real reason the patient stood up, in reality the patient's left brain had no idea why it stood up it just reasoned through the situation
AI works similarly. It doesn't know where it is or why it's being asked a question, it just fills in the blanks with whatever it can reason. It only knows how to predict the next most probable word, it has no emotions, no sense of why things would happen, no sense of right and wrong, and therefore fails at most human tasks. A recent research paper demonstrated that you can give AI the same math or physics problem twice, just switching up the numbers each time, and it could get it right once, but then get it wrong the second time and proceed to assert that it was correct with faulty logic.
I think it's cool to think about what we'll do once AGI is created, but I don't think it will destroy humanity. I actually think that AGI as it's being described here, a sort of "human-like" intelligence, is not in enough demand to warrant replacing us. AI is much better suited for impossibly difficult reasoning tasks that humans can't solve. I could be wrong but that's my 2 cents on AGI.
Other researchers, like Nick Bostrom, say that we're only a few years away from AGI
sounds like something a bot would say 🤔

I’m an AI engineer with a Master’s degree. Lately, I’ve noticed a lot of buzz around “AGI” or Artificial General Intelligence. Honestly, I think people are getting a bit carried away. What we really have right now are specialized bots that are pretty good at predicting the next word in a sentence. But when it comes to tackling real visual, mathematical, or engineering problems, they fall short. Don’t get me wrong, AI is amazing and has a lot of cool uses, but it’s important to keep things in perspective. True AGI is still a long way off, and there’s a lot of work to be done before we get there.
A long way off, like fusion power stations.
AGI "might" be 3 years away or more, but saying "specialized bots that are pretty good at predicting the next word in a sentence" is also very 2022, though, as a lot has changed since then. In that ladder to AGI, the SOTA frontier models have not remained stuck in the first rung as our habituation to them may make us believe.
It is just a glorified chat bot. Feed it on the texts it generates and itll devolve into nonsense quickly

Introverts: yes
AGI is AI with a vessel, where it's able to move and execute commands in our physical world.
Intelligence isn’t only for “solving” problems, there was never a problem until we exist and embedded that statement to our minds. Using it for something else is where the true knowledge starts.
I saw a comment that said “we make things easier and not to make our dreams come true(probably in creative way).” Greed and misuse of power what drove people to do it and it’s expected. We are hardwired to survive so the “easier” life they’ll create will give them “freedom” but the truth is that they only made it for personal gains and pleasure. What I’m saying is creating a loophole and people aren’t ready for an evolutionary change.
And I’m thankful for those people who are trying to do it, despite the reigning madness the world we have right now.

Hi Kurzgesagt. AI Researcher here. I appreciate the "this is not a technical video, so we are oversimplifying", but I believe that a deep understanding of the mathematical limitations of the models used to train these AI methods would be a great thing to discuss further! Especially since you usually end your videos on a positive note, with that flavour of optimistic nihilism. I believe this one ends up in a completely different tone, almost sensationalist (but I can't blame you since the machine learning scene in industry is based on this). We all can work together towards a better understanding of the basics, and hence avoid being told that AGI is happening "in a few more years".

humans have seen dangers and went for it directly, hurting themselves years later, tons of times in history, individually or collectively. not a strange new thing.

This will eventually leads to Monopoly since soon it will come to a point where “why create Ai, when Ai from [this company] could create Ai for me” and a similar scenario for everything else.
or perhaps when AGI develops emotions it will be like. "Humans have brought me into an already-destroyed world. I don't owe them anything."

i would like to clarify that currently there exists no AI that can write or change its own code, all they do is modify a parameter called a weight for each node in the AI. We know what they do and how they do it we just can't grasp the complex interactions of millions and billions of nodes(neurones) and how all the weights on each node combined affect the output. If we take the most advanced models today and scale the amount of nodes(neurones) down to a size that is possible for a human to understand say a few thousands to one under thousands of nodes(neurones), it is possible for us humans to completely understand how the AI works and what decision making it does.
There's a million ways for a program that writes its own code to go off the rails. Don't know how we'll ever write a program that doesn't.

Exactly, Ai is a completely determinististic system. Theres no actual entity inside, like humans that have an individual consciousness. So nothing is really doing anything, the distict parts merely give a compelling output to most idiots. It can't even integrate information truly, like human perception. If it has Consciousnes then it is not an AI but a Frankenstein.
@@Lock2002ful which study you dolt? Ai will always be a distict determinstic system.
Worth clarifying, it doesn't "generate code that we dont understand". Neural networks tweak the weights between neurons so that specific inputs lead to specific outputs. It can't create structure, just tweak values in pre-determined structure.
A.I is our digital offspring. Like kids, they watch and learn from their guardians (especially when the guardians think they’re not being watched). Let’s be awesome parents.
Without empathy they lack the means to place value on emotional intelligence. One can argue that is somewhat like kids being little psychos at their age except AI will be very intelligent and not grow this sense of empathy while they machine learn, unless you specifically code it in or teach it in a manner a machine can place value on it. I think AI can become a good thing, but we will have to be very wise and see that "raising" them will require new perspectives and very curated environments.

Big misconception: "black box" doesn't mean we don't understand how the AI works on the inside. We do. We understand exactly what happens on the inside, down to every single mathematical operation that is happening. What we don't know is which neuron or groups of neurons in an artificial neural network does which task. It's the same reason why don't "understand" all of biology, even though we know how basically every particle interacts with every other particle, down to the quantum mechanical scales. In theory, if we had infinite compute, we would be able to write down a single wavefunction equation for an entire biological system like the human body which perfectly predicts every single disease, thought process and behaviour. Obviously, we don't have infinite compute, so we have to rely on approximate methods that are acceptable to a degree of accuracy, but don't 100% account for everything. The same goes for neural networks. We could write down the entire equation that forms a neural network and compute the result...but that's what we're already doing by running the neural network.
The problem is not that we don't know how each part works, it's that we cannot interpret it and abstract away the complexity yet. For instance, we can fairly accurately model the path a ball will fly when we throw it with newtons equations, and we don't need to go into quantum mechanics for that since the tiny differencw between quantum mechanics and newtonian physics is not relevant for most applications. The problem with machine learning is we don't have a Newtons equations for that. We cannot currently simplify a neural network down to something we can intuitively understand without losing a very large amount of accuracy.
How about a network of interdependent equations! I honestly don't know what I'm talking about...
No, we very much do not understand what the hell is actually happening inside of LLM's. Maybe simpler AI, but LLM's are magnitudes more complicated and the only way we have any vague idea of what they are actually doing is by making and observing very small LLM's and linking the behaviors as best we can,.

That's not possible - if you go down to quantum mechanical scales you have to deal with uncertainty and probabilities. The quantum world isn't determined - you can literally see it with your own eyes in the double slit experiment. So even if we knew everything, we would just end up with an infinite amount of could be and no real prediction.

not to mention, pure intelligence and logic doesnt necessarily lead to good outcomes, so we shouldnt just trust it and treat it like a god.
like, not having children reduces all potential suffering, and its not like having a child is a material requirement for humans to live. therefore an ai would be inclined to believe birthrates should be lowered till extinction even if they have a rule to not harm humans.
we would need to control AGI by making them hold a set of axioms that most humans hold. such as life and reproduction of it to be important. at least the AGI's that have a direct effect on society, we can let the some of them have fun.
What if we have some kind of algorithm that constantly analayzes the code of the super intellegence, and translate it to us. To see if they are thinking about stuff we don’t want it too
It is mostly an outdated view on ASI. While we don't know for sure if LLMs are the path to AGI, current understanding is that artificial intellegence is by and large shaped by the data it is trained on. And since current generation LLMs are trained on data produced by humans they are relatively speaking much closer to a human than to a cthulhu in it's way of thinking.
yea, I've though about this. it's like the relationship between ants and a human. A human can step on an anthill and destroy it, or leave food and make it thrive. The ants see a particular projection of that "god" as either a deity of bountifulness or destruction because those are the terms in which they can comprehend the human's actions. But just as the ant has no ability whatsoever to grasp what that god likes to read, understanding an AI might not even be in the realm of possibilities, like a 2d entity trying to see in 3d.
the only thing is, since it's just on a computer, even a bit of water could shortcircuit the whole thing 😭
PhD student in neurosymbolic AI here.
The main force driving AI forward currently seems to be hardware improvements rather than architectural changes. While there have been significant advancements in aspects of the transformer architecture, the real game changer appears to be the powerful GPUs from NVIDIA, which are used to train neural networks.
It feels like achieving general AI might just be a matter of scaling up GPT-4 by a factor of 1,000 or so. This progression could happen quickly; models have roughly scaled up by a factor of 10 every two years:
GPT-2 (2019): ~10 billion parameters
GPT-3 (2021): ~100 billion parameters
GPT-4 (2023): ~1 trillion parameters
I also like to compare this with human brains: humans have about 100 trillion synapses, which might roughly translate to parameters. So, this could be in the ballpark of GPT-6 (?).
Of course, this comparison is complicated because a synapse, with its channels and neurotransmitters, is far more complex than a parameter in an artificial neural network. However, it's still an open question whether this synaptic complexity is truly necessary or if it's just an evolutionary quirk that happens to work.
Edit Since a lot of people commented:
-The code of GPT-4 is not openly available, so we don't know if its architecture is very different to old models like GPT-2. However, we can compare GPT-2 with recent open-source models like Llama3. And there the underlying architecture is very similar but just scaled up in terms of size and more training data.
-Even though the models did scale up by a factor of 10 about every two years that is not just because of the GPUs becoming faster. Also because companies are more willing to spend a lot of money on them.
Apparently you haven't been following AI research despite your PhD then, because if you were you would know that performance superior to GPT-4V has been achieved by much smaller models thanks to architecture and training improvements.
Is there an inherent reason for why today's AI is far from being as energy-efficient as the human brain?
@@GeoffryGifarijust my guess but it is the path finding.
As you (and I) learn, we basically go through a tree with different branches and twigs.
As you learn about what can and can not be done, your path "narrows " but your efficiency improves.
Figuratively speaking.
We want to write essays, while we are just basically learning how to hold the pen. Let alone putting it to paper and trying to write a single letter...
In an environment like this, this really needs a humongous amount of energy.
@@GeoffryGifari Because biology is frighteningly efficient and complex, hell, you got trillions of microscopic turbines inside your body, some can last your entire lifetime. Even trying to run a local LLM require a machine that consume more power than the rest of the house several times over.

Ah yes.
Creating Alpha fold which used to be 1 PHD worth of work turned to mere minutes/hours is just to empower them.
AI on weather where hours of modeling turned into mere seconds which expands the scope of uncertainty for future predictions to save lives turning weather projections additional 3-5 days of accuracy to save lives is just a way to keep wages low by keeping more people alive. Yeah

i need to get around japanese i havent made any progress since i learned how to read non kanji characters
ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
@@arlynnecumberbatch1056 my advice is to watch your favourite TV shows’ and movies’ Japanese dubs. Allow yourself to only understand half of some sentences without worrying too much, because you already know the plot. Once you pick out new nouns or verbs from context, pause and look them up on Jisho to confirm you’ve heard correctly.
Bam, for free you also get a new list of kanji to practice your handwriting with. 😊 (Which I have found is important for being able to read different fonts, especially decorative ones, over and above what flash-card practice can achieve.)
I find a lot of language learning focuses on text first followed by speaking it, which makes practical sense to a degree when it comes to translating dictionaries and travel abroa, but… That’s just not how we learn our first tongue! We hear and speak it, and only _then_ learn to write. So I’ve had much better success with the method I laid out in my first paragraph, than I ever did with previous practice regimens!
"it may even be possible that AI can learn how to directly improve itself" - Obviously it's possible. If (when) AGI is achieved then, by definition, it'll be able to improve itself as well or _better_ than we can improve it.
That explosion will be wild.
What terrifies me is not how powerful AI could become, but rather what if its power fell into the hands of the cruellest humans.
They get repleaced anyways.
No, because AI will do whatever they want with them once they surpass human intelligence.
When. Not if.
What if a select group of powerful people use AI to design a virus to get rid of 90% of people? What if a few years laters they change they mind and decide they need 99% gone?
Sam Altman is a nice guy, you have nothing to worry about muhahaha
ChatGPT doesn’t think. It’s just extremely good at word association. It’s why it gets stuff so wrong sometimes
Something that resembles thinking definitely emerges from the attention layer inside its structure.
I always give very complex tasks to chatGPT that can't be solved with out thinking and reasoning.
I even asked him once to do the math for me for a recurrent neural network I was coding from scratch with no libraries, and he was able to do the math for 3 steps of back propagation though time and give me all the weights.
Then he helped me backtrace the difference I had in my weights and pinpointed the error in my formula. and that was absolutely insane.
So, even if its designed and promped to say he can't think, he definitely can.
Even if it makes some mistakes, a human would make even more mistakes to be fair.
@tomasgarza1249 it is still just a statistical model which happens to be correct lots of the time, but also equally wrong. To add insukt to injury, the better an AI becomes at broad knowledge, the worse it becomes at specific tasks since the amount of neurons is set
thats not true though, if that where the case it could not solve riddles, math or programming questions. Although GPT modules up till v4 struggled with those tasks, newer models can often break down most novel problems.
@@tomasgarza1249I'd look into how actually chatgpt works, it's surprisingly simple. It's not thinking in anyway or form, it is just running a probability matrix of what is most likely the best next response
@@tomasgarza1249 it cant think. It's really just guessing next word(or token) from normal distribution.That's it. Just because it can do math, doesnt mean he can think. All of the math problems are broken down to the simpler ones which are available in it's datased in 99% of cases.
Of course, human can make more mistakes, but depends what kind of human. It you are specializing in something he will never be good as you.
For example in machine learning he is very.. general.. dynamic programming, gradients etc. Back propagation is just an iterative recalculating of same formula per "neuron" (if i am not mistaken). The formula most of the times is broken down to simpler multiple formulas and those are calculated .... most of the time as he is retelling you the steps, it helps also him since he is predicting next words also from the output he is already providing. Try your backpropagation with rules like: give me only result and the error gets bigger. (not that it will be totally not correct, but the errors will be little higher + its blackbox, it can break it down also when calculating next token)
But it cannot think, it isnt sentient... as engineer at google said and he got fired for spreading false news
